Building Better Readers... Book by Book!

Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year!  We are busy getting the media center ready by processing new books, reading Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl titles, and preparing our iPads for checkout.  In addition, we are adding a new iPad/iRead spot to our library, so stay tuned for pictures and updates!  Parents, if you have a rising 4th grader or a new 5th grader that needs an Apple ID, please print this permission slip and bring it to the media center, if you have not done so already.  If you need a copy of the permission slip, we have them available!  Teachers, soon the media center handbook and a media lessons calendar will be available to you online.  Everything you need to know about using the LES Media Center will just be a mouse click away.  We are excited about the new school year as we "Build Better Readers...
